Skam release their video for huge new single “Rising Fever”, out now, new album “From The Depths” set for release on 29th November.
This hugely talented band release their rocking new single “Rising Fever” on 4th October, Neal states:
“This song is about our journey in the Music Industry, and tells the story behind the new album. We decided not to compromise on our sound and what we are about as a band, and write songs that we truly believe in and love. The lyrics are about all of the so called ‘industry experts’ we have come across over the years who have told us to write songs a certain way, or look a certain way. We aren’t built that way, and never will be, so this is for them!”
Formed in 2011, Skam are a hard rock power trio band from the middle of England. They have a reputation for delivering no nonsense, gutsy, classic sounding contemporary British rock music. To date, the band have independently released 3 albums. “It’s Come to This” (2011) and “Peacemaker” (2014) were released to critical acclaim and the band established themselves as a live force to be reckoned with.
A drive to innovate inspired Skam to release “The Amazing Memoirs of Geoffrey Goddard” (2017), a concept record based on the diary entries of a time travelling RAF pilot. The songs were described as ‘gritty anthemic rockers’ by Classic Rock Magazine and the album received a number of 5 star reviews from the UK Music press. Lead single “Take it Or Leave it” was voted as ‘track of the week’ by Classic Rock Magazine and has since been included on Earache Records “New Wave of Rock N Roll” compilation vinyl. In 2021, broke into the Official UK Rock Charts with their “Intra” EP hitting number 6. Part 2 ‘Venous’ went one better making it to number 5.
On 4th October, the band returns with new single “Rising Fever”, taken from upcoming release “From The Depths”, their most eclectic and ambitious album yet. On this album they have pushed themselves into unknown waters, experimenting with everything from Metal to prog, to Acoustic balladry. The album is due for release on 29th November.
